Is there any way to undo the team balance thing on the Assault server?

On some of the maps, Ballx for example, the bots will do nothing. They will just stay where they spawn and never attack or get in a good place to defend. If you are on the defending team then nothing happens the whole round. You can't change teams because as soon as you spawn it will balance you back to the defending team. You can't click change teams and then wait for a bot to die and balance teams when it respawns because the bots never do anything and so never die. Even if I quit the match and then change my team preference, it stills puts me on the defending team.

In the server info it says that Team Balance it set to false but it happens anyways so that must be for a user command??? When it switches you it says that the Admin (UAdmin? or something like that) balanced the teams.

Sometimes I like to jump on there even if there are no players but there is no point if nothing is happening. If the bots won't attack then I want to do two rounds on the attacking team. It's either that or vote a new map.

I think one team (red?) always attacks first so you can at least make it through one attacking round if you have your team pref set to that color but then when you are on the defending team the next round you might as well quit or vote a new map.

I understand that if there are a few real players then it could be a problem but at this point would it really matter. Even if it's 3 real players against 3 bots, so what?

One thing I like to do is play on there alone (on red to attack first and to establish the time to beat), so a few months back I took it upon myself to make a project out of it and weed out all the maps that are suitable for solo play. Believe it or not, many maps are very good and the bots won't sit around at the start of the map and just have their crouch keys down and walk around like they don't care

Here are the maps I deemed good for a solo situation - again these are the maps where the bots will move to objectives and play just as well as you. I noticed quite a few where they start out well then stop at a certain objective and become clueless, I won't include these here, only those that they will play from start to finish. Stock maps are a given, but I'll put them here.

(NOTE: Outback is a stock map, but it always crashed to Acatana when I tried to play it.)

Wow, that's awesome. Thanks D_B_X. I'll copy those to a text file I can have open next time I play on the Assault server. I still think it would be good to let players change teams though.

It wasn't as easy as a task at it might have seemed. Maps with no defenses may seem fun, but in place of having no bots, a lot of the maps that didn't make the list had those troublesome auto targeting link turrets with crazy amounts of HP (many maps having one after the other!) which made a map to get through in 5 minutes more like 30

I would agree on being able to switch; sometimes it could be fun to play through attacking first as red, but then defending as blue.

Where the hell is the AS server? Since I had to REFORMAT my drives the freaking AS server isn't even on the master list. I go internet tab, Assault tab and it's not there!!! I want to play AS where are you.....
